Child Guardianship
If a friend was to use a living will and leave the unborn child to myself, what steps need to be taken to ensure that I would gain custody of the child. Also if the fathers name is on the birth certificate would I have to prove him unfit?

Re: Child Guardianship
A child is not property which can be passed by a Will. An order of the Court concerning custody and possession must be obtained. Sounds like you are trying to adopt the quick and dirty way which would be totally ineffective.
